|
| Music Preferences and Comments:

|
| System Goals/Comments: | Looking for the best bang for the buck in terms of PRAT and tonal nature. Have tried to keep the system balanced.
|
| System Strengths: | Pace, rhythm, and timing. Makes you want to tap you toes, and makes it impossible to read if there is music on.
|
| System Weaknesses: | Music can be a bit thin at times. Pop discs can sound harsh if the volume is turned up enough.
|

Integrated

| Comments on HT System: | Seemingly good value. I've been very happy with it.
|
| Other Interests/Hobbies/Occupation: | Painting, art history, sociology. I'm an IT analyst at a large US auto maker, but will be leaving in a few months to start a PhD at Columbia University.
